The relevance of neuroscience to education and its potential impact on pedagogy is increasingly being recognised by scientists, educationalists and policy-makers. Our thoughts, perceptions and actions continuously change the strength of connections between neurons in the brain, such that these physical connections come to represent our understanding and knowledge of the world around us, so-called brain plasticity. Education, therefore, plays a crucial role in shaping the shifting balance of strengthening and weakening of connections in the brain (Ansari and Coch 2006). Indeed, it has been argued that teachers are the only professionals required to change brain connectivity in young people on a daily basis!At the same time, significant insights are being revealed about developmental stages (eg, early-years, adolescence), the impact of environmental factors on the brain (eg, nutrition, sleep, exercise) and the processes by which the brain acquires essential learning skills and abilities such as memory, attention, motivation, numeracy and literacy (Blakemore and Frith 2005; Goswami 2006; Howard-Jones 2013; Meltzoff et al. 2009; Royal Society 2011). The growing body of scientific research into the nature of learning and education is matched by the enthusiasm of many teachers to incorporate this understanding into their experience and expertise (Pickering and Howard-Jones 2007). Yet despite this enthusiasm, and the immense potential for interdisciplinary collaboration between neuroscience and education, there has traditionally
